DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

Hi Jonathan Hope all is well? Great work/thread. My wife's favourite classic. You mention a bumper / notch. I don't know if it is at all relevant to your comment but reminded me of when I went on a tour of Jag factory and old boy leading the group was a long term employee. During tour he stopped, po...

Peter, if I wasn't an impoverished working class lad from County Durham I'd happily pay Mike the 7k for this very nice MFI pump. My first speeding ticket was right outside my uncle's Butchers shop in Tudhoe, age 17. Your neck of the woods iirc? Steve PS bit rich a lad from Co Durham giving Mike a ha...

My main point being likely later than Mike's initial estimation of the just very earliest cars based on known comparator. I suppose broader applicability to more RS probably helps chances sale of this item. As do discussion posts each creating a bump for Mike's FS post. Nice item from what I can see...

Hi Mike. Yes thought so but wanted to be sure as date code not always embedded. Sometimes Bosch build date separate three digit stamp not embedded in serial number Based on comparison to other pump: I think your pump applicability is probably later than you've deduce /suggest - beginning calendar 73...

Hi Mike

hope all is well.

Interesting item. Casting nunber and date clear; just curious how are you decoding the serial number when you say "23024376" "and a tag which represents October 1972?"

Yes going with another DDKer.

The CIS tool items now sold.

I do have a Bosch ETT 008.00 exhaust gas analyser and a Bosch MOT 001.04 universal tester from the same series at £250 each. A similar Bosch universal tester is asking £480 in eBay so offering here a lot less than that.

The only way to truly know is to drop the knee bar on RGO 2L and get a peek at that secret number. :thumbleft: Agree too. Would be interesting to see the production number on RGO2L. Somewhere I have an old personal email from Nick Faure who recalls driving this car after the reshell and he said the...

Pair of rear trailing arms for the later LWB rear suspension. Note these have the circa model 72/3 mount i.e. configuration for after locating point was moved.

Poingnent. I think "CSI Willesden" wouldn't have to look very hard to find my DNA from barked knuckle skin on your car James -- tricky to get valve covers off with the upgraded engine bracketry etc iirc I was very fortunate and a enjoyable privlige to spend four years part time on my hobby...

Just seen this -- well done James.

Unless it is a case of mistaken identity it is probably the last car Chris and I worked on together! Wasn't it the white one in his workshop for a long time?

So, quite a long way off any car topic, in my other hobby, DIY hifi, I have got all the hardware and plans to make a pair of repro BBC monitors. I'm kind of ok with wood in a DIY sort of way, but what do you need to accurately cut MDF for the speakers? The cuts need to be straight and square and th...

An early Hazet sparkplug wrench only marking is the word Hazet (little a) lengthways. No Hazet number stamp or brand sticker like later examples. Hex nominal 21mm overall 23.5 cm long with a 14 cm Tommy bar. The remaining surface coating has a slight dull satin sheen in some lighting. Eric Cherneff ...
